Actian Zen v15 Pricing | Goldstar Software

BEFORE YOU BUY: Please note that Actian's new licensing policy is that if you crash your server without an IMAGE-LEVEL backup to restore from, they will refuse to "repair" your license for you without the purchase of a Support Contract directly from them at a cost of $5000. If your money is important to you and you are unable to move off of the Zen v15 database engine just yet, please be sure to have an IMAGE-LEVEL backup of any system on which Zen v15 is installed.

This page shows pricing for the Actian Zen v15 product line (formerly known as Actian PSQL) from Actian Corporation (formerly Pervasive Software). The current version of this product is v15.20, but licenses purchased for Zen v15 will work across any release, including future service packs.

If you would like pricing on older database versions or on any other type of item, including the Goldstar Software products, please select from the menu options on the left.

Prices in the computer industry can be very volatile, and the price list provided here is provided for your reference only. All prices are in US Dollars; taxes and other charges may apply.

Actian Zen v15 Workgroup Engine New Purchases

These licenses are for 32-bit Workgroup Engine purchases, from stand-alone 1-user systems up to a MAXIMUM of 5 concurrent users in the database. Note that if you have an existing 1U or 3U base license, then you can purchase additional 1U and 2U User Count Increase (UCI) licenses to add users, but not exceed the maximum of 5 concurrent users.

Actian Zen v15 Enterprise Server Base Licenses

These licenses are for new Zen v15 Server engine purchases for any platform (Windows, Mac, Linux). These base licenses can be combined with User Count Increase licenses (below) to make other user count combinations. Officially supported operating systems include Windows 10 (and newer), and Windows Server 2012 (and newer).

Actian Zen v15 Enterprise Server User Count Increase Licenses

The base Zen v15 (above) licenses are NOT stackable. To increase your user count, you must purchase additional "User Count Increase" (UCI) licenses to add to your base license to make larger (non-standard) user counts. This means that if you wish to obtain a 26 user license, you would purchase a 20U "Base" license and a 6U UCI for the server.

Actian Zen v15 Enterprise Server Upgrades From PSQL v14

These upgrades are valid for all users of Actian PSQL v14 database engines. Proof of ownership is required to obtain the upgrade price, and only BASE licenses can be upgraded (Not UCI's). You can upgrade to the SAME user count or to the NEXT USER COUNT HIGHER. The original product must be removed and destroyed.

Actian Zen v15 Standalone Server Engines

These licenses are single-user, standalone licenses of the Zen v15 Enterprise Server Engine, which includes the Backup Agent and VSS Writer support. This license is designed for Developer use on Windows, Linux, or Mac environments, or for single-user systems which can benefit from the added security, speed and memory utilization of a true 64-bit Server Engine. IMPORTANT NOTE: Unlike the full server licenses above, these base licenses are NOT expandable with User Count Increases, and this license may NOT be used to add another user to an existing Server Engine license!

Actian Zen Cloud Server 15 Base Licenses

These licenses are for new server purchases, and you can have only ONE base license on each server. Licenses will work on any platform (Windows, Linux, Mac). Officially supported operating systems include Windows 10 (and newer), and Windows Server 2012 (and newer). If you need to add more Data In Use, you can use a Data Size Increase (below) or a Size Upgrade (also below).

Actian Zen Cloud Server 15 Data Size Increases

Actian Zen Cloud Server (formerly Zen Vx Server) 15 base licenses come with a set data size allowance. To increase your Data Size, you can either purchase an upgrade to a larger size, or you can purchase additional "Data Size Increase" (DSI) licenses to add to your "base" license to use larger databases. Temporary Data Size Increase licenses have been discontinued by Actian as of this refresh.

Actian Zen Cloud Server 15 Size Upgrades

If you have an existing license of Actian Zen Vx Server 15 and you need to move to a larger license, you can increase your data size with the Data Size Increases (above), or you can upgrade the license to a larger size. Proof of ownership is required to obtain the upgrade price. These licenses are applied on top of your current size to attain the new size.

Actian Zen Cloud Server 15 Sidegrades From Zen v15 Enterprise Server

Users of Zen v15 database engines can switch to Actian Zen Cloud Server 15 license model (i.e. a "sidegrade") at a discounted price, but only within certain defined sizes (shown here). Proof of ownership is required to obtain the upgrade price. The original product must be removed and destroyed.

Actian Zen Cloud Server 15 Upgrades From Zen v14 Server

Users of Actian Zen v14 database engines can upgrade to Actian Zen Cloud Server 15 at a discounted price, but only within certain defined sizes, as shown here. Proof of ownership is required to obtain the upgrade price. The original product must be removed and destroyed.

Actian Zen Cloud Server 15 Upgrades From Zen Cloud Server 14

Users of Actian Zen Cloud Server 14 database engines can upgrade to Actian Zen Cloud Server 15. Proof of ownership is required to obtain the upgrade price, and you can upgrade to the SAME SIZE, or to the NEXT SIZE HIGHER at the discounted price. As with all upgrades, the original product must be removed and destroyed.
